A Drummer's Tale, episode two

Gert Sørensen

Poul Ruders has worked with Gert Sørensen for many years, and this has introduced Ruders' work with percussion to the diversity of sound potential inherent in the new technology of MIDI, samples and sound sources. Sørensen's and Ruders' expansion of the possibilities of the orchestral percussion can be heard in the orchestral works Solar Trilogyand in Ruders' opera The Handmaid's Tale.\
